Atheism is Patent Dogmatism

According to atheist philosophy everything comes out of nothing. But there is not one shred of empirical evidence to confirm that it is possible for anything to come out of nothing. Therefore, it is patent dogmatism. To the contrary all empirical evidence establishes just the opposite principle. Everything we experience comes from something, which comes from something, which comes from something, back, back, back to that original something from which everything has come. So we can logically, scientifically understand that existence, therefore, must also have a source. It is not sourceless as the atheists loudly proclaim. What is the nature of that source can be analyzed later, but through simple logic we can deduce the dogmatic absurdity of atheistic philosophy.

Answer: As Close as You Can

Personally I would sit as closely to Srila Prabhupada as I could whenever he gave a lecture. In this connection the word "Upanishad" (as in the 108 Upanishads) is very significant. It is literally "upa-ni-sat" which means "sit closely" and refers to the disciple sitting closely beside his guru in order to receive transcendental Vedic wisdom. So the disciple should always try to get as close to his spiritual master as he possibly can to serve him with love and to inquire from him. The spiritual master will then allow him whatever degree of closeness is appropriate at his current level of Krishna consciousness. He gives more closeness to those who are more advanced and is also naturally very kind to those who are sincerely seeking his merciful guidance.
